Huesca 0-4 Barcelona: Iniesta shines in his Barca comeback

Thegoalmac can reveal that Barcelona look set to progress to the next round of the Copa del Rey after Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic both hit stunning goals in a 4-0 first-leg win over a spirited Huesca on Wednesday.

Jeremy Mathieu was the sole survivor in Barca's starting XI from Sunday's 1-0 Liga victory at Valencia, but Luis Enrique's makeshift side showed the gulf in class between the two teams in the first leg at Estadio El Alcoraz.

Rakitic was the driving force in Barca's midfield and his tremendous free kick opened the scoring, before Iniesta - playing his first match since October 25 due to a calf injury - grabbed his first goal of the season with an excellent finish.

Pedro effectively ended the game as contest with a fierce drive seven minutes before the break, and Rafinha made it four in the second half with his first Barca goal - albeit with the help of a huge deflection.

The two teams will meet again on December 16 at Camp Nou, when there will surely be no way back for the Segunda B side after Barca's ruthless first-leg display.
